Re: [mukto-mona] “Please save me. I have two children and a wife. I must live.”




 Needless to say that there are still many brave and noble hearts you can find in Bangladesh but their numbers are dwindling with the time. These protesters could easily use their free time to rescue some more trapped garment workers?

Have you seen that so called garment workers are breaking buses, private tempos, and offices in the name of protesting Savar-tragedy?  These are political cadres taking advantage of the tragedy. Is this s a political event? Shame on dirty politics of Bangladesh.

As I am watching NTV reporting on the Savar catastrophe created by the unforgivable callousness and unbounded greed of the rich killing hundreds and wounding severely thousands of mostly poor people, my eyes are welling up. At the same time I am also watching the round the clock tireless rescue operation in which are also engaged mostly poor employees of different agencies including army as work horses. Not only that they are working in environment with lack of oxygen, bad smell coming from rotten human bodies, and insufficient light. Every moment they are risking their lives. In word, it is unbelievable. I bow down my head to them for their tireless efforts. I salute them.
Look at the other side of the picture. Nasty politics and blame games. Creation of  more chaos and confusion, hartal, vandalism by unruly mobs thanks to our politicians who are instigators of all this only to reap political benefits. Unfortunately the government is still continuing to arrest political opponents as if nothing has happened.
What role is Hefajat-e-Islam playing? Are they thinking that the "gajab" of Allah has descended on the "bepurdah" woman garment workers?

Altaf dies in debris

Staff Correspondent

    
 
Altaf Hossain, the victim of Rana Plaza who made it to the front page of The Daily Star on Friday, died trapped inside the collapsed building yesterday morning. His lower torso was crushed under a huge beam and left hand under a collapsed wall. With his free hand Altaf was seen appealing to rescuers and journalist. The Daily Star took his photo on Thursday morning. In his feeble voice he said, "Please save me. I have two children and a wife. I must live." A firefighter, who went to rescue Altaf, however, could not go for any drastic measure fearing further collapsed. Altaf even implored journalists to go and talk to rescuers, out of a belief that they would listen to newsmen and act a miracle. Altaf's relentless appeal came to a final halt yesterday around 6:00am. His body is still stuck in the debris.

Altaf Hossain raised his arm and pleaded the photographer to lift the pillar on his back just a little so that he could slip out and live. Unable to bear the pain he was in, he couldn't speak anymore. He was yesterday found in the rear end of Rana Plaza, which is just rubbles at Bazar bus stand in Savar. Photo: Amran Hossain
